>> narrator: in this episode of "american greed"... abraham shakespeare strikes it rich, winning millions in the lotto, and lets most of it slip away. >> i often tell people that abraham shakespeare was lakeland's stimulus package. >> narrator: with his fortune dwindling, a woman named dee dee moore steps in and promises to help protect what's left. >> i mean, he'd been in the hood all his life, and, all of a sudden, this woman come out of the blue. phew! okay? >> narrator: but instead of looking after the lotto winner, moore only looks after herself. >> everything that mr. shakespeare has ever owned now belonged to dee dee moore. >> narrator: when he goes missing, all eyes turn to her. >> they're saying that i took a

gun, put it up, and killed another human being, and i would never, ever, ever do that. >> narrator: and investigators work to uncover the truth. january 25, 2010. for nearly three months, investigators in polk county, florida, have been trying to locate lottery winner abraham shakespeare. now they've found his body beneath a concrete slab behind a simple brick house along a busy rural highway. and they're talking to the woman who they think put it there,

dee dee moore. moore's story starts years earlier in the quiet town of lakeland, florida. in a letter to "american greed," she says it's a tale so farfetched, that she would not even believe it if she was not living through it firsthand. on november 15, 2006, abraham shakespeare is working on a truck as a delivery assistant for a food-distribution company in central florida, where he's lived for 40 years. the truck's driver, michael ford, stops at this convenience store in the nearby town of frostproof to buy a drink and cigarettes. shakespeare asks him to pick up two tickets for that night's $30 million florida lotto drawing, then he waits.

>> so, tonight's florida lotto winning numbers are 12, 13, 42, 6, 52, and 34. >> narrator: after years of playing the lotto, shakespeare finally hits the jackpot. he takes home a lump-sum payment of nearly $13 million. dave clark is a detective in the polk county sheriff's office. >> i think it was the best thing that ever happened to him and the worst thing that ever happened to him. >> narrator: shakespeare treats himself. he purchases a $1.1 million mansion and a bmw worth $100,000. but sentorria butler, shakespeare's former girlfriend and the mother of his youngest son, says he was always more interested in spending the money on others. >> he went from being considered a nobody to everybody needs him all of a sudden. >> narrator: shakespeare reportedly gives out money to random strangers at the bank he

frequents. he pays for people's burials, groceries, rents, and helps those in danger of losing their homes. >> people that barely knew him -- you know, former co-workers -- would go to abraham with a sad story and say, "hey, you know, i have a family, my house is about to get foreclosed on," and he'd say, "how much do you owe on it?" >> narrator: according to polk county detective chris lynn, he buys approximately 10 homes, then has the owners make payments directly to him. >> i didn't necessarily see it as a moneymaking scheme. he wasn't charging these people any more money than what they could afford. it was just generosity on his part. >> narrator: but the way shakespeare doles out money may be attributed to something more than plain generosity. with nothing more than an 8th-grade education, it's said that he has difficulties with large numbers and financial concepts. merissa green covers shakespeare's story for the lakeland ledgfrom the time he wins the lotto.

>> it was so easy for people to take advantage of shakespeare. matter of fact, everybody who knew him did. >> narrator: michael ford, the driver of the truck who picked up the winning ticket, claims in a lawsuit that shakespeare stole the ticket from him. a jury sides with shakespeare, but he is hardly relieved. his mother says he changes his phone number, and he reportedly says, "i'd have been better off broke." by the end of 2008, he's lent out, given out, or spent all but $1.5 million of his $13 million jackpot. that october, he's introduced to dee dee moore at a red lobster restaurant. she's been researching him and asks his realtor to set up the meeting. according to polk county detective dave wallace... >> abraham sees this white lady who's driving a nice car, who's dressing well. she appears as kind of the knight in shining armor.

>> narrator: moore says she runs a nursing staffing company that's made her a very wealthy woman. she tells the lotto winner she wants to write a book about how people are taking advantage of him. to shakespeare, she must appear to be a successful businesswoman -- someone who doesn't want or need a handout. >> she would do stuff like, "oh, let's go to the casino," and she would pull up in a limousine. being that he always took everything at first sight, i think he believed that she really had money. >> narrator: the lotto winner brings moore to his mansion. she learns that even though he's a millionaire, shakespeare is behind on his mortgage. in what appears to be a selfless act of kindness, she makes the approximately $7,000 payment for him. >> everybody asked him for money. nobody ever gave him anything, and here she steps in. a person on the outside looking in might say that's a nice gesture. that's a caring person. but that was part of her whole

plan. i mean, that was the hook, and she was setting it. >> narrator: up next on "american greed," see how dee dee moore gets her hooks into abraham shakespeare's fortune. >> this was the key that unlocked the door. from this point on, there was unlocked the door. from this point on, there was nothing to stop her. ♪ ♪ you get your coffee here. you get your hair cut here.

>> narrator: when she befriends lotto winner abraham shakespeare, dee dee moore claimed she's doing it out of the goodness of her heart. but what shakespeare doesn't know is that she has a history of lies and frauds. as her father will later put it, "she tells the fibbiest fibs." >> look here. it's definitely her signature. >> narrator: detectives who investigate her see it in a slightly harsher light. >> i think dee dee moore was the most manipulative, cunning, pure con artist, evil person i've ever come across. >> narrator: in one instance, moore is alleged to have set a fire to avoid an embezzlement investigation. in another case, after falling behind on a car payment, she

hatches a plan. >> she ties herself up, throws herself in a ditch, and calls and says that she was carjacked, and some hispanic guys attempted to rape her and left her for dead in a ditch. none of that happened. >> she had set this whole thing up, basically as an insurance fraud to get a payoff on the car and to keep the car. >> narrator: moore pleads guilty to making a false report, and a judge gives her a year of probation. with shakespeare, she has her own plan. she convinces him the i.r.s. is going to come after him for the unreported loans he's been making. and she stokes the fear that his one-time girlfriend sentorria butler is going to sue him for child support. >> so, she scares abraham -- thinking, "hey, you're gonna lose more money. the only person you can trust is me because look what i did. i paid your mortgage off." >> narrator: having put shakespeare on edge, moore begins transferring his assets out of harm's way.

in january, she gets him to give her a quarter-million dollars -- money she says she will pass on to the i.r.s., and she makes a token payment. >> i believe at that time, the i.r.s. is given a check, but it's not for $250,000. it might be for $20,000. >> narrator: the rest of the cash is hers. next, she targets his home and the i.o.u.s that are owed to him. >> she tells abraham, "you know, listen -- you need to get out of it so that the i.r.s. can't personally come after you." >> narrator: moore says he should sell everything. luckily, she has a buyer in mind -- dee dee moore. in january 2009, she agrees to pay shakespeare $655,000 for his $1.1 million mansion. she also agrees to pay him an additional $185,000 and gets more than $3.5 million in

additional real estate and uncollected i.o.u.s he's holding. >> for every $1 of abraham shakespeare's, miss moore was gonna pay him 5 cents. now, that seems to be a pretty good investment, and, on paper, it's a great investment. >> narrator: for her. but she never even pays him. moore doesn't stop there. next, she targets more than $1 million that shakespeare has in an annuity account. in early february, she files paperwork opening a company which she controls called "abraham shakespeare, llc." she says that if shakespeare moves his money into this limited liability corporation, it's protected from his ex-girlfriend, sentorria butler. moore goes alone to a local bank of america, where she gives then-manager doug hancock a different story for why she's opening the account. >> she was talking about that she was doing it to help him pay his income-tax debts.

>> narrator: though the llc is named after shakespeare, moore has control of its bank account. when she shows up the next day with the lotto winner to deposit his $1 million, he has questions. >> he was very adamant, saying, you know, "am i gonna be able to get to my money?" he wanted to make sure that her being on the account wasn't gonna keep him or restrict his access. >> to settle shakespeare's concerns, moore has with her minutes of an llc meeting, adding his name as a signer. she gives them to the bank, and he deposits his check. but when shakespeare steps out, dee dee moore has a special request. >> she said, "you know, i won't be able to help him if he takes all the money out, so can you tell me before he takes any money or not let him get to the money?" which, of course, i said, you know, "dee dee, he's a signer on the account now. he has full access, same as you." >> narrator: hancock tells her if she wants to restrict shakespeare's access to the account, she just needs to provide the right paperwork.

a few days later, she brings in another set of meeting minutes. the minutes state that as the company's manager, she alone has decided to remove him from the account. the bank gives her sole signing authority. >> once she presented us with this, she had complete control. he had no access, and he had no way of even knowing what she did with the money from that moment on. >> narrator: she continues her ruse to make it look like she's helping him with his tax problems. she obtains a cashier's check from the corporate account made out to the i.r.s. for $250,000, but they never get it. instead, she exploits a banking policy for redepositing unused cashier's checks and pockets the money. >> on the back of the check, she notes that it's not needed for its intended purpose and then just deposits the money into her account. >> narrator: moore's attempts to

keep shakespeare in the dark aren't over. she tries to give hancock a $20,000 check as an apparent bribe. he turns the check in and passes the matter on to corporate security. >> well, i went home and told my wife. i said, "you're not gonna believe this," and she said, "oh, she's trying to steal all his money." i said, "that's absolutely what she's doing." >> narrator: over the next 11 days, moore drains the million-dollar account of all but $44,000 dollars. when asked about the matter, bank of america would not comment on their internal policies or the investigation. but hancock says that he wishes things had gone differently. >> i wish that when i turned it over to corporate security, that maybe some other type of investigation could have stopped her from taking the money, and, you know, maybe then it wouldn't have led to what it did. >> narrator: up next on "american greed," his money is gone and so is abraham shakespeare.

things these stories have in common. first, none of them are true. second, they all can be traced to the one person who says she's spoken with shakespeare on the phone -- dee dee moore. oddly, while he can't be found, she seems to be living large. at the center of her new life is her new mansion -- the one that once belonged to shakespeare. she's seen driving a new hummer and a shiny new pickup truck. and she buys her much-younger boyfriend a $70,000 corvette. she also purchases this home in nearby plant city, where she spends thousands on renovations including pouring an oddly placed concrete slab. though no one has seen shakespeare, many people hear from him, but in a way that doesn't seem quite right. >> i would call and call and call, and nobody would answer, but i would keep getting texts.

and it would have big words in it. i'd be like, "this ain't abraham! he can't even say that word!" >> narrator: moore spends time with the one person most likely to worry about shakespeare's whereabouts -- his mother, elizabeth walker. >> she went, picked up abraham's mother and prayed with her and, you know, made abraham's mother think that abraham was fine. i mean, how do you do that to an 80-year-old woman who loves her son? >> narrator: in august, moore pays shakespeare's cousin cedric edom $5,000 to deliver a birthday card to walker. it's signed with the missing man's name and contains a cross and $100. for nearly seven months, no one comes forward to report shakespeare missing -- not his mom, who moore has been manipulating, not his ex-girlfriend sentorria butler, who has been told he's trying to escape from her, and certainly not the friends he's lent money to. to detective dave wallace, there's one simple reason for

that. >> greed. everybody -- all they wanted from abraham was money. if i owe you $50,000 and all of a sudden you disappear, do i really care where you're at? no. >> narrator: in november of 2009, moore repossesses a vehicle belonging to shakespeare's cousin. it's not a smart move considering the dirt he has on her. he comes forward with quite a story to tell. dee dee moore has purchased all of shakespeare's assets, and she's living in his house. within days, detectives bring moore in for questioning. she tells them shakespeare wanted to get away from all the people bothering him. she purchased his home and his assets to give him the cash he needed to move. she plays them a video that she says proves this.

but there's a problem with moore's story that shakespeare wants to be gone and has the money to leave. detectives find no record that moore every paid him for his assets. when she says she paid him in cash, they see that her business was not that profitable. >> unless you believe that dee dee moore had $800,000-and-some-odd cash hidden in her basement that she can't explain where she got -- you know, it would have had to have been dropped down from the heavens. i mean, she didn't have that money. >> narrator: detective chris lynn sees that the abraham shakespeare llc account has been liquidated. >> when we confronted her about these checks, of course, you know, the continued lies. "i was using this money for mr. shakespeare." and yet she can't provide

reasons or means of what she was using the money for to benefit mr. shakespeare. >> narrator: meanwhile, detectives clark and wallace start looking at shakespeare's phone records. they notice that he stopped making calls after april 6th. though no one else has spoken to him, for months, moore insists that the lotto winner has been calling her from his phone. records show that their phones have, in fact, connected. but when they do, they're both in pretty much the same location. >> according to her, in our interviews, she hadn't seen him in months. so, why does it seem that the only time she's had contact with him, he happens to be close-by? you could tell she didn't have any way to explain it. so, she finally said, "okay, i had his phone. i had his phone the whole time, but he wanted me to have his phone. that was his plan." >> narrator: it's clear that moore has been using the missing man's phone to put up smoke screens for months, and

detectives are quickly drawing one conclusion. coming up later on "american greed," dee dee moore makes a stunning admission to detectives. >> it was one of the strangest things i've ever seen. here's this 38-year-old woman -- mascara running, crying for her mommy.

>> narrator: lakeland, florida, barber greg smith says that for years, abraham shakespeare has been coming by his shop to sweep up. >> he used to love to come up to the barber shop 'cause a lot of people are there. >> narrator: smith borrowed $63,000 from the lotto winner. that money is now owed to dee dee moore since she bought all of shakespeare's i.o.u.s in mid-december, she approaches

her debtor with an offer -- she'll pay him $350 if he will make a phone call. >> "and what do you want me to say?" "just say that you saw abraham down in miami." >> narrator: smith places the call. >> i was driving one night, and my cellphone rang, and some guy says, "i want to tell you, i saw abraham down in miami." i'm like, "well, how do you know it was him?" "well, i saw his i.d." "well, how did you see his i.d.?" "oh, he was taking it out, and it fell down in front of me, and i read it, and i just knew all about this." "well, how'd you get my number?" "uh...well, i got to go." >> narrator: detectives don't know smith at the time, but they're about to become much more familiar with him. as christmas approaches, they're growing certain that moore is behind shakespeare's disappearance and that she's now trying to conceal the truth. to expose her ruse, they set a plan in motion. they'll have detective dave clark talk to moore.

he'll play good cop and tell her she can clear her name if shakespeare reveals himself. >> i told her, "look, i believe you. i believe this guy's alive, but i'm here to tell you that if his family or especially his mother doesn't see or hear from him, you know, over these christmas holidays, i'm not gonna be able to defend you much longer." >> narrator: the plan works. moore takes the bait. >> so, she called me. she said, "i need you to make another phone call for me. i want you to call abraham's mother." >> elizabeth walker calls us and says, "i got a call from somebody saying they're my son, but i really don't think it was my son." >> narrator: within hours of talking to walker, police trace the call to a phone belonging to greg smith, here at the lakeland square mall. when they roll up, they find smith in his car. dee dee moore is there with him, handing him some cash. >> i don't think anything could have been luckier in the world.

i mean, we were just -- that timing was the luckiest thing and the biggest break in the case. >> narrator: they let moore drive away, unaware she's under surveillance. before long, they are talking to greg smith. >> dave wallace was the first one to say something. he said, "did you call abraham's mother?" i say, "yeah." "did you call dave wallace?" i say, "yeah." he picked his badge up, and he said, "i'm dave wallace." i said, "oh, lord!" >> narrator: smith tells detectives that moore has offered to forgive his $63,000 debt if he helps her out. when they tell him what they've learned, he decides to cooperate with police. >> so, from that point forward, the investigation definitely takes a turn, and now we've got somebody on the inside. >> narrator: smith figures out the perfect way to help. he removes the top from a red bull can, then inserts a digital recorder. whenever he meets with moore, he

has it in his car like it's an ashtray. she has no idea. >> i didn't want to tell him at the time, but i'm thinking, "damn, that's a good idea!" [ chuckles ] you know? "i wish i had thought about this back whenwas in narcotics!" >> narrator: on january 6th, moore and smith meet at this hotel. >> she was like, "come in! come in!" she was like, "listen -- put your gloves on." "put my gloves on?!" she was like, "i don't want none of your hair to get stuck in the computer!" like this "forensic file" type of thing. i'm like, "man, this lady is off her rocker!" >> narrator: there's a reason she's being so careful. she's writing a letter from shakespeare to his mother. she doesn't want to leave a trace of who's actually writing it, but as she reads from the letter, she has no idea she's being taped.

smith then goes with moore to drop the letter in shakespeare's mother's mailbox. detectives retrieve it before she sees it. >> the phone call, the letter -- she's just digging a hole. we thought that that point would push her to do something even to a bigger scale. >> narrator: the next day, the polk county sheriff's office names dee dee moore a person of interest in the case. they make one thing clear -- investigators don't believe her stories. >> typical dee dee moore -- whenever you get her into a corner, you can almost see the hamster rolling in her head. "i've got to change my story.

i've got to come up with something believable." >> narrator: days later, greg smith has his secret recorder rolling as moore tells a new story. she admits abraham might not be missing of his own will. he may be dead. but she didn't do it. a man named ronald did, and now he's forcing her to help cover up the crime. it's racial scapegoating reminiscent of a story she told years earlier. moore's world is falling apart, and her moves are becoming increasingly desperate. on january 19th, she meets with the cops' inside man at a denny's, where she presents a bold, new way out.

>> she asked me did i know somebody that would take the fall because she knew abraham will be back real soon. he was coming back, "but i just need somebody to take the fall just in case." >> narrator: two days later, smith brings moore to the parking lot of a department store and introduces her to this man, sitting in a white gmc yukon. smith says the man is going to jail for 25 years and is willing to take the blame for the right price. moore blames the killing on the drug dealer, ronald. she wants someone to take the rap so ronald will stop threatening her, and the cops will get off her back. this new schemer says he'll admit to killing shakespeare for $50,000. but he needs more info so his confession will seem believable.

she has no idea that she's just made a deal with someone who has no interest in helping her conceal her crime. >> what dee dee didn't know is my name is michael smith, and i'm a sergeant with the lake wales police department. >> narrator: coming up on "american greed," moore's stories and lies grow ever more desperate. follow @americangreedtv on twitter. we'll be right back.

greg smith in on a secret -- she has two things that will help make the fall guy's story believable. she has the gun that killed shakespeare, and she has an idea of where his body is buried. it's on her property. smith's red bull recorder is rolling as he tells her the obvious. he needs to move shakespeare's remains. that way, when her fall guy takes the blame, she won't be implicated. for months, moore has been spending the money she stole from shakespeare to live large, but on the afternoon of january 24th, she goes on a different kind of shopping spree. >> she went and bought all the tools that were needed to move a body, bury a body, unearth a body, dispose of a body. >> narrator: at walmart, she buys a roll of plastic sheeting,

lysol, rubber gloves, and a frappuccino. the next day, january 25th, smith and moore meet, and she hands over the handgun used to shoot shakespeare. it's a .38 caliber with a laser sight attached, registered in her name. she wants to make sure smith gets all her fingerprints off it. later that day, moore meets smith again to show him one more thing. she drives him to her home in plant city and takes him to the slab of concrete she paid to have poured a week after the lotto winner went missing. >> she got out of her truck, and she walked on top of the concrete with that iron piece of

metal, and she said, "i'm gonna put this metal right where he's buried. >> narrator: confident he's got the killer, detective dave clark brings her in. she has another story to tell. she's caught the killer. it's her old buddy, greg smith. but her attempt to implicate him falls flat. >> everone of those meetings? >> mm-hmm. >> they've been recorded, dee dee. >> okay. >> now, the unfortunate thing is i think you know where i'm going with this, dee dee. >> mm-hmm. >> the gig is up. >> mm-hmm. >> okay? the gig is up. >> mm-hmm. >> narrator: but moore won't accept that the gig is up. next, she tries to blame greg smith's friend, the driver of a white yukon who she says she's just met. that doesn't work either. >> no, he didn't! you asked him to find someone to take the rap for this murder, and you were gonna pay him $50,000, dee dee, because i got

really, really bad news for you. >> what? >> we heard that, too. >> narrator: with her back against the wall, moore makes an interesting offer. she will tell detectives who killed shakespeare if they will let her keep the assets he sold her. >> dee dee, stop it. stop it! stop it! if you want to deal for the rest of your life -- that's what you better -- that's the problem, dee dee. you're worried about money! >> narrator: when the interview ends, moore is allowed to leave. detective clark follows her outside where he says she collapses and starts crying. >> she looks up at me, and she says, "my son r.j. did it." i said, "your son, r.j.?" and she says, "my son shot abraham. abraham was trying to choke me, and r.j. shot and killed him. he did what any son would do

protecting his mother." >> narrator: moore denies ever making this comment about her teenage son. the next day, january 26th, the hillsborough county sheriff's office serves search warrants at the property. because the body is believed to be in their county, their sheriff's office takes over the investigation. detective gregory thomas leads the case. >> when we arrived the next day with the search warrants in hand, we were very confident we were going to find the remains. >> narrator: on the third day of the search at 5:05 p.m., investigators make the discovery they've all known was coming. six feet down, below the exact spot moore marked with a piece of metal for greg smith, they find abraham shakespeare. he's been shot twice in the chest. the next day, detectives greg thomas and dave wallace have some additional questions for moore about how she knew

exactly where his body would be found. moore hasn't shied away from her old stories. she tries to blame the killing on shakespeare's cousin, on her lawyer, and on the drug dealer named ronald. but detective wallace breaks some more bad news. they know ronald is another dee dee moore lie.

detectives remind moore there's only one innocent victim, and she killed him. and they know why. by now investigators have a clear idea of what happened the night shakespeare was killed. >> i think he confronted her about his access to the money, and an argument ensued. >> they get to the plant city house, she opens up the safe, and that's where she kept the gun, and she doesn't get money out. she gets the gun out and shoots and kills him. >> she realized what she had done, stored his body until the following day when she can contact her ex-husband. >> she said, "hey, i need a hole dug 'cause i need to throw some

trash in there and bury it up." so, he comes over, he digs the hole which is actually where abraham's body was found, and he just leaves. >> she had access to an atv four-wheeler on her property with an open-ended trailer that she could have simply lifted the body onto and move it to the hole to bury herself. >> narrator: as her arrest grows ever-nearer, moore maintains her innocence. >> i'm not scared of going to jail for murder because there's no jury that's gonna convict me. they're saying that i took a gun, put it up, and killed another human being, and i would never, ever, ever do that. >> narrator: on february 1, 2010, shakespeare's death is deemed a homicide. the next day, moore is arrested and booked into the hillsborough county jail. next on "american greed," dee dee moore goes to trial.

it's not until late november 2012, that moore's trial gets under way at tampa's downtown courthouse. she is now a brunette and appears to have lost weight. over the course of 11 days, prosecutors lay out the case against moore, who, at times, breaks down in tears. moore's defense lasts only five minutes. her lawyer, byron hileman, points out that it's a case based purely on circumstantial evidence. he reminds jurors of moore's ronald story, saying that there were two things his client feared most... >> one -- the ostensible threats from the drug dealers if she told the police the truth, once the investigation had begun. and, two -- the fact that she felt whoever had done this killing had clearly put her in a position where she would almost surely be blamed for it. >> narrator: in his closing argument, prosecutor jay pruner
